The start of the domestic’Corona 19′ vaccination came two days ahead. From the 24th, the AstraZeneca vaccine will be shipped from the SK Bioscience factory located in Andong, Gyeongbuk, and will be vaccinated from the 26th. In addition, the Pfizer vaccine will be administered from the 27th after arriving at Incheon International Airport on the same day.
The government aims to create a’collective immunity’ that can naturally suppress the spread of infection by completing more than 70% of the people’s vaccinations by this fall.
The total number of vaccines secured by the government is for a total of 79 million people. As each vaccine is supplied to Korea sequentially over a period of 1 to 3 quarters, it is possible for people to return to their daily routine before this winter comes only if the whole country is vaccinated in a timely manner according to the government’s plan. So, taking a hypothetical 7-member family as an example, I will specifically point out when my vaccination turn will be.

Assuming a seven-member family consisting of a 70-year-old father, a 63-year-old mother, an eldest son in his 40s, two children, and a second son in his 30s, the timing of vaccinations for parents is completely different.
63-year-old mothers can receive vaccinations from the third quarter, when the vaccinations of 18-64 years old begin. The type of vaccination for this subject group was not determined.
If the mother is a nursing hospital or nursing facility resident, the AstraZeneca vaccine will be available from the 26th. From this day on, the government will begin vaccinating AstraZeneca vaccination to 280,9271 people who are hospitalized, inhabited, and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and facilities.
A 70-year-old father can receive vaccinations in the second quarter of those aged 65 or older. If you are in a nursing hospital or nursing facility, you can get the vaccine from April instead of the 26th. The government decided to postpone vaccination for the elderly aged 65 or older to April, even for residents of the same nursing hospital or facility, due to the lack of clinical data to prove the’effectiveness’ of the AstraZeneca vaccine for the elderly. However, the type of vaccination has yet to be determined.
If the 43-year-old son is a doctor treating a patient with Corona 19 and a hypertensive disease, the earliest vaccination time will be on the 27th. Medical staff at the forefront of COVID-19 treatment are among the government’s top vaccination groups. The vaccine is manufactured by Pfizer. If you are not a doctor, you can get vaccinations from the third quarter as an adult chronically ill. Likewise, they belong to 18-64 years of age, when vaccinations take place in the third quarter.
If your 44-year-old daughter-in-law is a pharmacist and suffers from diabetes, it is an adult chronically ill and is eligible for the third quarter vaccination. However, because you are a pharmacy worker, you can get the second quarter vaccination.
Doojae’s son, 39 years old, is a soldier and is subject to vaccination in the third quarter because he is between 18 and 64 years old. Military personnel are also eligible for the third quarter vaccination. The government planned to vaccinate soldiers, police, fire and social infrastructure workers from the third quarter.
Since the 19-year-old granddaughter (18-64 years old) is an adult, it is possible to receive the vaccination in the third quarter, but the 16-year-old high school student grandson is a child and adolescent who is not yet in the government’s vaccination plan.
However, the possibility of vaccination is open as the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety’s verification advisory group recommended that the use of Pfizer’s vaccine on the 22nd is appropriate for use over the age of 16. In the future, if the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety final approval and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination committee final approval, high school student grandchildren will also be eligible for vaccination. The vaccination period is likely to be in the same third quarter as for adults.
If these vaccination subjects do not get the vaccine in time, the possible vaccination time will be pushed to the fourth quarter.
In a regular briefing on the 22nd, Chung Eun-kyung said, “Managing the vaccination rate is difficult only with the power of the government.” I will manage it.”
